Chapter 951 Behemoth, Fearer and Destroyer!
Chapter 951
Abu Mu/Srin didn't speak, looking at the two even bigger monsters, some thoughts flashed through his mind in a blink of an eye. In the history of the empire, there are indeed two behemoths with a thunderous reputation. They are deeply imprinted in the minds of the people of the conquered countries like nightmares, making them dare not easily resist up to now.
Wherever the two giant beasts passed by, all the prosperity disappeared, leaving only destruction and death, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of creatures:
"These two behemoths are the Fearer and the Destroyer?"
Abu Mu/Srin's eyelids twitched, and his expression finally changed.
"good!"
Mercier nodded proudly. The names of these two giant beasts are legends in the entire Dashi Empire, and there is no need for him to explain them too much. As long as you know their names, there is no one who does not turn pale and panic when they hear the news.
Mesir was quite satisfied with Abu Muslim/Lin's reaction.
"let's start!"
Mai Xier turned his head and passed an order to the rear. Pa, with the sound of the fiery whip, the earth trembled, and the behemoths that had stopped at both ends moved slowly again. Thousands of big cannibals receded towards the sides like a tide, making way for the two giant beasts.
In the eyes of everyone, the two giant beasts were close together, and the giant beasts that were not far apart slowly separated. The hippopotamus-shaped giant beast with scales slowly aimed at the two steel lines of defense in the distance, while the second wild boar monster aimed at the tall and magnificent city of Talas in the distance with its scarlet and tyrannical blood.
"Buzz!"
This small change immediately attracted the attention of Tang in the distance, and the army was in a commotion.
"My lord, the big cannibals have begun to move! And the city of Talas is also among their attack targets. If the city of Talas is breached, it will be difficult for us to resist!"
Behind the line of defense, Xue Qianjun turned to look at Wang Chong with a disturbed expression.
He is not a general who easily panics, but this battle with the mythical giant has completely surpassed imagination. If the big cannibals are allowed to break through the city wall, it means that the Tang Dynasty has lost its last fortress and reliance before a large-scale decisive battle.
There are all supplies and food in the city of Talas, and all the craftsmen live there during the war. If the city defense is lost, these people will suffer heavy losses. Not only that, if the city of Talas is destroyed, the two steel defense lines will be useless, and the big cannibal will have another attack direction.
And if we go one step further, the front and rear sides of the city of Talas are pierced, and the big cannibals, the Western Turks, and the Tibetans of Uzbekistan will be able to completely break through and rendezvous. Wang Chong's strategy of building a steel line of defense to separate the two enemy groups will fail completely.
The combination of the three great empires, the powerful alliance, will definitely be a disaster for Datang!
"Wang Chong, the situation is not good! With our energy, there is no way to deal with two giant beasts at the same time!"
Gao Xianzhi also spoke, and this god of war in the Western Regions, who was like a sea god needle, also showed a nervous look. The four of them gathered the strength of the army, displayed the incarnation of the gods, and tried their best, but it still took a long time to kill the giant rhinoceros, and the whole process also lost nearly 10,000 troops.
Now that there are two giant beasts, and the strength of the four people is scattered, I am afraid that the army will suffer even more casualties.
"There can no longer be large-scale casualties, otherwise the morale of the army will completely collapse!!"
Cheng Qianli also showed a trace of uneasiness and uneasiness.
He has experienced countless tragic battles, but no matter how dangerous the war is, he knows that he will win without a doubt, and he has survived all of them. But this time, he really didn't know what the ending would be, whether he could survive it!
"Zhang Shouzhi, how about the heavy crossbow? How long will it be before it's ready?"
Wang Chong said suddenly, his heart fluctuated.
"Not yet! The heavy crossbow is just a concept, we haven't tried it before,
I don't know if I can succeed at all, let alone if I can deal with the giant beast. Everything needs to be adjusted, and there is simply not enough time now! "
Zhang Shouzhi said loudly. On his ears and temples, the silver-white hair kept dancing.
The wind blowing from the western battlefield is getting stronger and stronger, which is a sign before the giant beast is about to charge. The city of Talas is full of crises, and everyone can feel their scalps tingling and exploding. The intense death crisis almost drives everyone crazy.
The nervousness and anxiety in Zhang Shouzhi's heart was no less than that of Wang Chong. However, the heavy-duty crossbow was originally an idea, and it had never been really tested. Many places were very naive and immature. Assemble, debug and modify at the same time.
Beside the giant crossbow being assembled, more than a hundred furnaces spewed flames towards the sky at the same time, burning blazingly. Beside each furnace, at least ten craftsmen were busy at the same time, and the scorching hot steel juice was still emitting black smoke and steam, and it kept flowing into the molds along the steel grooves.
Zhang Shouzhi leads the group of more than one hundred craftsmen, who are adjusting the heavy crossbow on the spot and temporarily building parts, with the fastest speed, making Wang Chong's idea of the heavy crossbow a reality. It appeared for the first time in On this continent. As for the final result, even Zhang Shouzhi couldn't predict it.
Wang Chong didn't speak, and his heart became more and more heavy. The heavy crossbow was just an idea, a glimmer of hope, but he couldn't put all his hope there. Looking at the two behemoths in the distance, Wang Chong looked dignified, and countless turmoil surged through his heart. Everyone pinned their hopes on him, even Gao Xianzhi pinned a glimmer of hope on him.
Only Wang Chong knew how much pressure he was facing at this moment. But he couldn't show it in the slightest.
"Li Siye, pass on my order to transfer a group of soldiers to the city."
"Zhang Shouzhi, work on the heavy-duty crossbow is intensified. In addition, I need you to build me a conical weapon that is at least 20 meters long and one meter in diameter. It doesn't need to be very sophisticated. Build it for me as quickly as possible. come out!"
In just a moment, Wang Chong quickly issued a series of orders. To fight against these giants, whether it is Wang Chong's razor-sharp three-foot Uzi steel long sword or the Vajra pestle transformed from stellar energy, they are far from enough to deal with these huge monsters. Wang Chong needs some more powerful, real physical weapons.
"Master Protector, is it inappropriate to let some soldiers retreat into the city now? The reason why the current Dashi and Wusi Tibetans have not attacked is because our army is outside the city and has a certain deterrent to them. function. If we withdraw the army to the city, our strength is not enough, and it is very likely that the two sides will attack us at the same time.”
Cheng Qianli was a little uneasy.
Cheng Qianli did not object to Wang Chong's decision, but he had to consider the chain reaction behind these decisions.
"Daqin Ruozan doesn't know how to attack, and he doesn't have the strength now. If Daqin Ruozan attacks, we can break through from the east with all our strength. Daqin Ruozan understands this, so he will never move. And Abu Muslim/Lin, there is a saying that you are right. He is indeed using giant beasts to consume our strength. Before this goal is achieved, he will not do it easily. Moreover, when the giant beasts attack , if the big cannibals follow up with troops, they will also be attacked by giant beasts. Therefore, as long as we withdraw no more than half of the soldiers and horses, Daqin Ruozan and Abu Muslim/Lin will not attack easily. "
Wang Chong looked wisely and said slowly. In this war, there is no one who can grasp the whole situation better than him. His every move, every order, is the result of careful consideration.
"Understood!"
Hearing Wang Chong's explanation, the doubts in Cheng Qianli's eyes really subsided a lot.
Roar!
While the two were talking, the air flow surged, and the west side of the battlefield was filled with flying sand and rocks, filled with dust, and a loud howling of beasts came from there. In just a short period of time, the two behemoths had completed their target adjustments and finally launched an attack. Boom, in the blink of an eye, two giant beasts, one on the left and the other on the right, shot toward the city of Talas like rabbits.
Rumbling, the earth roared, the first thing that rushed out was the wild boar-like beast covered with hard vellus hair, its body twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it surpassed the hippopotamus-like giant beast by a body distance. Its four hooves were extremely fast, and the smoke and dust raised under its feet were more than ten meters high.
On the other side, although the speed of the hippopotamus-shaped monster is not as fast as that of the wild boar-shaped monster, its running speed is also not slow, and it feels not only not clumsy, but extremely flexible. The two giant beasts rushed towards Datang's steel defense line and the city of Talas at full speed, one in front and the other in the back.
"Prepare!"
A sharp scream resounded above the entire steel defense line, and all the troops quickly assembled and prepared, especially the ballista troops at the front. The thick and long black crossbow arrows were quickly loaded and aimed at target ahead. Of the current reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, the only ones capable of inflicting damage on this mountain-like monster are the Carriage Crossbow Troops.
"Wang Chong!"
Gao Xianzhi's nervous voice rang in his ears, and the dust in the distance covered the sky and overwhelmed the mountains, moving towards the city of Talas non-stop. When the two giant beasts charged together, the terrifying momentum far surpassed the previous rhinoceros-shaped giant beast. Having seen the terrifying and destructive power of that rhinoceros-shaped giant beast, Gao Xianzhi deeply knew how terrifying the attack power of this giant beast was, and he had to deal with them before they rushed over, otherwise, the entire army would suffer heavy losses. . Even if they died and fell to the ground within the defense line, the huge bodies of these behemoths could cause huge casualties in the army.
In order to avoid the huge casualties of the army, all four of them must find a way to solve it in advance.
"Give me the giant scale armor, and the rest..., Mr. Gao, Mr. Cheng, and father, I will leave it to you to deal with!"
Time was running out, and every second counted. As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, he clamped his horse's belly, and the whole person immediately crossed the first steel line of defense, and shot out.
"Li Siye, Confucius Ann, all black-scarred cavalry come with me!"
Wang Chong's thunderous shout echoed throughout the steel defense line.
